DORITOS Crash the Super Bowl 2013 | Director's Cut Preview

The Doritos Crash The Super Bowl XLVII ad contest is back for 2013 (early I know...) here is a preview of what the contest is all about this year. The preview highlights past entries and winners plus a taste of what's to come with Michael Bay and the Transformers 4 movie.

The great Super Bowl ad-venture is back. This year, if you make a DORITOS ad you might see it air on the Super Bowl and win not just $1 Million but a prize that's twice as explosive: a gig with high-octane Hollywood hit-maker Michael Bay on Transformers 4.

Five finalist ads will be announced in January 2013. Then it will be up to fans to vote for their favorite consumer-created ad. Each of the five finalists will win $25,000 and a trip to New Orleans to attend Super Bowl XLVII in a private luxury suite at the game, where they will tune in to learn for the first time which consumer ads will compete for the top spot in the USA TODAY Ad Meter before a worldwide audience. Bonus prizing will be awarded, based on how each ad ranks on the USA TODAY Ad Meter:

$1 million will be awarded for an ad that scores the No. 1 spot on the USA TODAY Ad Meter

$600,000 will be awarded for an ad that scores the No. 2 two spot on the USA TODAY Ad Meter

$400,000 will be awarded for an ad that scores the No. 3 spot on the USA TODAY Ad Meter
